Пирогів (Pyrohiv)

Earlier this month when I was in Kyiv, I spent a day at Pyrohiv (Пирогів), which was originally a settlement south of Kyiv.  It is now the Museum of Folk Architecture and Life of Ukraine.  This is one of the largest outdoor museums in the world.  It is so large that is impossible to explore the entire village in one day.  Many of the original buildings have been preserved at this site and others have been brought in from throughout Ukraine. It is a very beautiful and peaceful outdoor museum, an excellent place to relax and learn about the history and culture of pre-revolutionary Ukraine. 

I took a good many pictures, so I have created a special page here.  I will be adding photos over a period time.
